Pick a Winner

"We enjoy going apple-picking and to the pumpkin patch. We're actually painting pumpkins this year rather than carving them so that the kids can have more of a hand in it."

Get Cozy

"I love just curling up underneath the blankets to read books or watch movies."

Spruce Up the House

"We start by decorating our 'Charlie Brown' tree with fall leaves and various themed decorations, and then allow the festive atmosphere to spill over onto the porch, where I always set up an autumn display complete with pumpkins, scarecrows, hay, mummies, and more."

Get Outside

"The weather is perfect for outdoor play during fall. We love to take our son to a local farm with a giant pumpkin patch so he can experience farm animals, pig races, hay rides, and, of course, picking out the perfect pumpkin!"

Find a Fair

"We like to go to the local Renaissance Festival. I'm looking forward to taking my little one to pet the jousters' horses. That was always my favorite part of the fair when I was little — that and getting to dress up as a princess!"

Go for the Goo

Leaf It Be

"Growing up, my mom would send my siblings and me out to rake the leaves and would find us laughing in the traditional pile, jumping in at full speed over and over again. We would also make 'houses,' using the leaves as wall dividers to create floor plans."
